Rockstar Announces DLC Plans for L.A. Noire

Cases, clothes, and challenges are on the way for Detective Cole Phelps. Rockstar and Team Bondi announced today their downloadable content plans for crime thriller L.A. Noire, including a pre-order pass that will land you all the digital digs and doings for half-off.

Starting today in North America and Europe, players can purchase the L.A. Noire Rockstar Pass for $10 on PlayStation Network or 800 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live. With the pass, players will have access to all seven paid DLC packs (four cases, two detective suits, one challenge) Rockstar has planned and save $10 in the process.

"With its blend of real crime influences and noir atmosphere, L.A. Noire contains boundless potential for new stories and new cases," said Sam Houser, founder of Rockstar Games. "The four new cases are strong standalone stories that sit perfectly alongside the main game."

Individual cases can be purchased for $4 or 320 MS Points, challenges for $2 or 160 MS Points, and suits for $1 or 80 MS Points.

Sharkey says: If you're a fan of the game and looking forward to new cases, the $10 Rockstar Pass seems like a no-brainer. Why spend $16 on the four cases alone when you can get them and some new digs for $10? Then again, if you can hold out for a good eight months, the Game of the Year edition will likely feature all this and more for the price of the standard game.
